TFG Fumes at Karl Rove Over His Fox News Analysis His Confidential Docs Issue is Worse Than Biden's

Longtime Republican strategist and current Fox News contributor Karl Rove clearly got under the skin of former President Donald Trump — as evidenced by a new post on Truth Social.

In a Wednesday morning dispatch to his social media platform, the former president fumed at Rove over recent Fox News analysis in which the political advisor argued Trump’s troubles with classified documents is much worse than President Joe Biden’s.

Biden lawyers discovered documents with classified markings while clearing out a private office last fall. Critics have jumped on this news since it follows Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property being raided by authorities in an effort to get classified materials the former president allegedly mishandled.

Rove pointed out in a Fox News appearance that Biden was more cooperative with authorities and his case involves significantly fewer documents than Trump’s.

He'll be brought into Mar-A-Shithole to kiss the ring soon enough.

He has enough clout, money, etc.. that he doesn't need to be kissing anybody's ring.

He'd likely get more cred being "rational" at this point than being a Trump sychophant.

Way more likely than Rove kissing Trump's ass.

I despise Rove. He is scum. He is however, from another era in Conservative politics. Different from the lickspittles we have today, like McCarthy, Boebert, etc...

That Rove is a "truthteller" (uggh, I just threw up in my mouth a little) tells you everything you need to know about today's Republican Party and Conservative movement.

Chances are you are a sociopath and/or a Conservative.

The reality of the situation is that based on what information we have, the President Biden "secret documents" thing is a minor issue at this point. He had documents. They were locked up. His lawyers (likely doing a sweep) found them. The lawyers called him. He called the National Archives. The documents were handed back the next day. Also, the National Archives apparently, didn't even know there were missing documents.

Trump's situation: He appears to have purposefully taken documents clearly marked with various Top Secret markings. The National Archive knows what he took and requested the documents. Trump refused or delayed. Trump and his lawyers made false statements regarding having any more documents. Trump failed to respond to repeated requests for documents containing significant national security risks. They were stored haphazardly in a Country Club where many people, including potential foreign agents, could get access to them.

Karl Rove is as partisan as they come. He is not an honorable person. He fits right in with the Conservative movement. However, it seems there is a line that he might not cross. All he was doing is looking at the facts as we know them right now.

Here is another difference between liberals and conservatives. IF the situation with the documents turns out to be bigger for President Biden. If he actually did do something wrong and dangerous for the Country, we, as supporters, will STILL call him out on it. We will seek investigations and accountability because WE are not just about "our team". We want the best for the United States, even for Conservatives who may not necessarily deserve the best.
